Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I've been elsewhere a while, but my Shadowtrot campaign is still happening! I just threw a huge twist into the plot this past Sunday:
https://youtu.be/LkIwOtdh4zo
After some talks, it seems that my daughter has been reading up on covid-related mental health issues and thus learning about mental health in general, because some of her teachers are feeling the burnout... which translates to Bojack themes and well, guess she's using the internet for one of its intended purposes?
I used to read them a lot when I had the income. I've fallen off the wagon for a while now. But occasionally I pick up a good one.
Oh. Consider me a bit jealous. :3

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
For completeness sake and the off chance you still need it, I got that specific plush from Valmiiki. There are more artists/craftspeople making pony plushies of course if you don't necessarily need that specific one. Equestria daily sometimes showcases people's custom plushies too.
That strikes me as rather thoughtful of her.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Short version, three year old had one of those storage nets overflowing with plushies over their bed (which had high sides like a crib). The net came down and buried the tyke in about eight inches of plush animals while they were down for a nap. Fortunately, some of the toys were the kind that start making noise when moved and the sitter came in to see why there were about a dozen songs going off (the girl was setting them off as she struggled to breathe). Even more fortunately the sitter paid attention in Health class and knew enough to get the girl breathing again.
I came into this subsequently, as a child nearly being smothered does get investigated (no matter how much the parents object).

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Re Rogar Demonblud's story: ouch. I've been attacked by a wooden cupboard full of kitchen supplies when it was inadequately attached to the wall and one of the screws came out. I was lucky and could hold the cupboard up with one hand while I emptied it, so it doesn't fall off from the other screw too and injure me. But I learned a lesson to be careful with cupboards or chests that aren't on the floor. (Also my brother says that when he was young, a prickly cactus jumped onto him from a shelf over the bed.)

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I have experience with this sort of thing. I've been attacked by no less than three ceiling fixtures (cheap housing is cheap for a lot of reasons), had a wall mounted cabinet throw itself at me (drywall issue due to water leaking) and had a window blown in by thunderstorm-generated straight-line winds (another reason I am never returning to Oklahoma).

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Equestria Daily has info on the upcoming G5 series.
https://www.equestriadaily.com/2021/...5-netflix.html
The art looks cute. I might have to watch this when it comes out. Though the choice of themes makes me think Twilight's reign ended poorly. XD

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
The new art style will take a little getting used to, but that was going to be the case no matter what and this looks decent. I can definitely like this. After the movie and maybe a few episodes it'll have grown on me.
Possible sad scenario: Friendship = magic and immortality is presumably derived from magic, so Twilight might have lived just long enough to see her life's work and dreams fall apart as friendship and magic faded and her immortality with it. D:
Less sad and more likely scenario: Twilight passed away a long time ago in G5, 'cause I don't think she'd let something like that happen on her watch.
I guess we can get started with wild mass guessing now.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
"Flying Pomeranian"? So this edition's version of Spike?
I'm not sure I like the art style, and the storyline sounds like it could get horribly cliched in a heartbeat (hoofbeat?). I'll be going into this with a bit of caution, methinks.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
...Didn't they say that they elected not to reboot so that they could use the established characters and lore?
This seems like such a drastic change to the setting, after presumably a long period of time, that it might have been better to just rip the bandaid off and go for the reboot.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
It's long enough for society to change radically and for the Magic to go away.
That doesn't happen overnight.
Especially if you take the statements from Winter Wrap Up about Ponyville being centuries-old in conjunction with Granny Smith being a founding member of the community together, which implies that ponies live for centuries.I also answer to Bookmark and Shadow Claw.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
Depending on which episode you go by, Granny was a filly when it was founded (no Cutie Mark) and it happened less than a century ago. But consistency was never the show's strong point.

Still, the premie seems different enough that I don't see why they decided against a reboot.

The fact that G4 was more popular than the other three put together. They're trying to keep the former fanbase.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
So basically it's a standard Things Have Gone To Horseapples Since The Golden Age But Our Plucky Heroes Will Start Fixing It premise. Pretty standard have-your-cake-and-eat-it-too setup for a sequel, really, not thematically unlike the properties where each arc involves defeating the Big Bad and the next arc starts off by introducing the Bigger Bad.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
It's already grown a bit on me. I hope other esptablished races of Equestria show up in this new style. I wanna see a kirin.
I am amused by the theory that G4 was just a show in the G5 universe, hence Sunny's Mane6 merch-- the figures in the background of her image, the buttons on her bag of three Mane6 cutie marks... that would be a weird direction to go, but I guess it avoids the "Equestria fell on hard times" issue some people have. Course, that might be a different unintended can of worms, but I don't think we'll see a solution to satisfy everyone.Last edited by DigoDragon; 2021-03-01 at 07:27 PM.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I will break my silence long enough to say that, with their first sentence of their description (having not had any prior preconceptions or bias towards G5), they have immediately lost me.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
This may come as a surprise, but I originally didn't care much for any of the FIM artwork; it grew on me while I was giving the show a chance. I'm happy to suspend judgement on the basis of the artwork.
Also, the show has many times hinted at a direction that seemed ... less than stellar. Again, over time I came to like what was done and have a little faith in the team producing it being better than the team publicising it.
I'm inclined to let it try and fail on its own merits, rather than the previews. I mean, EQG wasn't brilliant (and looked pretty dire) in the beginning, but they still managed to make something of it.Warning: This posting may contain wit, wisdom, pathos, irony, satire, sarcasm and puns.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I'm more hopeful than not, because this means the story is taking place far enough away from Starlight that she can't ruin it anymore. Er, hopefully.
But it's been a long time since I've watched any pony stuff. I wonder if she'd be more tolerable if I watched it again, or if it would be that Starlight was more a symptom of a degrading show rather than the cause of it.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
She's definitely a symptom. They had gone past three separate 'series end' points, but just could not call it quits. The sheer amount of rehash they had post-Tirek makes pretty much any episode not on the Young 6 unwatchable.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I've heard that one and it feels like a pretty good option to shake the fewest cans of worms. I think. We know there's an Equestria--Earth portal (that was never explained) so other dimensions are totally possible! I've never heard of a multi-verse theory that stops at two. :3
I think the premise of all magic being gone is interesting (and in no way am I biased because my Shadowtrot setting went through that scenario before it whipped back with a vengeance, lol). If nothing else, I'm curious to see what kind of villains they might throw in G5.
Having seen some episodes recently, I would say a bit of both. I really liked that Trixie/Starlight played off well together, but it does get me thinking that maybe Starlight wasn't necessary at all when we had Trixie. And between the two Trixie had the better character arc stuff going on. :p

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
I don't really have a problem with Starlight and generally enjoyed the episodes she's in, even if those episodes don't also include Trixie.
Kind of a shame about there being no cutie marks anymore though. But with magic (mostly?) removed from the setting, I suppose cutie marks, being magical in nature, also have to go. I guess that also creates more room to take G5 into a new direction.Last edited by Form; 2021-03-05 at 06:13 AM.

Re: My Little Pony C: Friendship Carries On
For those who keep up with my Shadowtrot campaign, it's going places!
https://youtu.be/GfD5WxbXYwU
I'm looking at some of the promotional stuff Hasbro released, and I see Sunny without a cutie mark and then with one. Perhaps the lack of cutie marks is something to be resolved with the story.
